Remote Restructuring Research Analyst - Student

Fulcrum Lens is a student-led research publication specialising in corporate restructuring, liability management and distressed debt. The team produces concise, technical case studies and outlooks on real-world situations. All content is written and peer-reviewed in-house by students, offering a rigorous and academically grounded perspective. Fulcrum Lens is free to access and focuses on the critical moment when a capital structure breaks, a niche rarely covered in mainstream finance publications.

The organisation provides students with an opportunity to develop technical restructuring and distressed credit skills through practical research.
